Hmm, i've been having trouble with FireFox offering to download various .php files on the forum when I click links, such as showthread.php.

Using FF 1.5.0.6 and FF 2beta.

Do you have any extensions installed, perhaps there is a link between them and the problem.

[manwithnoname]

I running 1.5.0.6 just the default automatic updates (no beta stuff)

just had a look at the file to download does look like php code that is not been run server side below is the first couple of lines...

Same here with a basic firefox 1506.

IE also attempted to download a file when I tried to access hexus a few hours ago, so this hiccup isnt just confined to Firefox.

Just thought it might help someone who is working out why.

I'm having the same problem

[LuNi9]

this also happened to me earlier (using Avant Browser)

Apparently certain web proxy caches can cause stuff like this. Some of ntl's caches were causing spurious downloads instead of page loads with ebay a few months back.

I'm not having any problems, but I have a full install of PHP on this machine for running server stuff. Might affect it.

Theres a couple of threads about this now. So something going wrong. What ISP's are you all on? BT here with no probs.

mine was doing it with firefox and IE, a clear of cache/cookies fixed it. im on NTL so maybe that was it. fleabay does it sometimes as well.

We have loads balanced boxes one of them played up - should be okay now

[MSIC]

I'm on Pipex and had the issue until I cleared my cache.

[Howard]

Clearing my cache didn't fix it, but it seems to have fixed itself now anyway

[Hottentot]

Fixed here too.
